Ksenia Malurika — Artist/Illustrator and Musician. Born in Siberia in 1993, Kseniya’s work delves deeply into themes of personal experiences, exploring liminal states, the sensual realms of human existence, and our connection with nature. In recent years, her art has frequently engaged with themes of emigration and reflections on war.
Kseniya graduated from the Novosibirsk Art School and studied at the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg from 2016 to 2020, specializing in theatrical and decorative arts. Concurrently, she gained diverse artistic and theatrical experience in educational theaters and on the stage of the Capella.
Working across the genres of painting and graphics, Kseniya also employs mediums such as video art, performance, and installation. Between 2019 and 2022, she traveled extensively, experimenting with various performative practices. This period saw the creation of several «Colorization» projects, which involve a flow of dance/contact improvisation with paint and interaction with these elements in space.
Following the outbreak of war in 2022, she relocated from Russia to Georgia with her family. In 2023, Ksenia and her family repatriated to Israel.
